We tried the margarita pizza with extra mozz, cheesesteak sub, and the mac and cheese. 3 of my favorites all in one stop! The pizzas are wood fired craft pizzas. They are kind of small for the price (18-22) so definitely not somewhere to take kids, or big eaters. (My 11 & 12 year old nephews would crush one of these in 3 minutes and still be hungry) Overall the pizza was great quality, just not filling enough for the price. It's more of a bar appetizer or snack. Which is a perfect fit the setting because it is a bar. The cheesesteak was really really good. The best of its class out of the 3 things we tried. The steak is good quality and they season it very well. It's definitely the best cheesesteak I've had in gettysburg. They use pre made sub rolls , and they didn't have provolone cheese. I didn't have high hopes when I saw the sub, but it was surprisingly good. The 15 price tag is a little high for the size, but I would get it again in without a second thought. The mac n cheese wasn't my favorite, but it was pretty good. It's seasoned like crabby mac without the crab meat. Serving size was kind of small for 7. Overall, great food with high end pricing. I would recommend eating here versus take-out/delivery because your paying top-of-line pricing because of the location. And the wood fire stoves. Margarita Pizza - 7/10 Cheesesteak Sub - 9/10 Mac & Cheese - 7/10

The Upper Crust. My family and I have been here twice now, and both times, we were extremely impressed with the pizza. It is so flavorful with just the right amount of toppings and the way it's cooked to perfection in the wood fired ovens, which just adds to the taste. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and both times that we have been our food came out in a very timely fashion after making our order. The restaurant also has two bars, plenty of seating, is very family friendly with a plethora of games to play in the back of the restaurant as well. As long as the food stays good and the awesome service continues, I definitely see us becoming regulars here whenever we are in Gettysburg. The only issue that would come to mind was the parking, which didn't bother us because we didn't mind the walk from the parking garage, but it can especially become an issue when Gettysburg is busy or there are any special events going on. That being said , I definitely suggest that you give it a try.

This place is awesome!! It’s HUGE! They definitely designed it with big groups in mind which is nice. It can be hard to find a place that can fit big groups. You can order pizza or anything from the BBQ place next door. The food was delicious!!! I highly recommend the brisket pizza and the pretzel Mac and cheese balls. So yummy! The prices did seem a bit high for the portion size but I kinda expect that in a touristy area. This place is extremely kid friendly which is refreshing for this mama! There are arcade games to play in the back that are FREE!! My kids could have stayed here all night!! The vibes here are awesome. Such a chill atmosphere. So happy we found this place. You should check it out if you are here for vacation!

While walking around Gettysburg, we stumbled upon an amazing restaurant called the Upper Crust. This restaurant is connected to two other places: a BBQ joint and an ice cream parlor. You can order from all three places while dining inside the Upper Crust. The inside of the restaurant is huge and has skee ball and pool tables in the back. The front of the restaurant is open, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. We tried the sweet and spicy pizza, and it was absolutely delicious! The crust was perfectly crunchy, and the flavors were fantastic. The strawberry margarita was made from scratch and was really tasty! We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very attentive and hardworking. Overall, it was a perfect 10/10 experience, and I can't wait to go back and try more items

Stopped here on a whim, walking through town. Nice weather, so garage doors were up and ceiling fans blowing. Seated by open window/sidewalk. My husband and I split a sausage pizza and bright salad, and ordered 2 beers. Perfect! Hit the spot!! Recommend!

We really enjoyed eating here with our friends. We ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and the brisket bbq pizza. The food was really delicious, we will be back!

The atmosphere is lively with a subtle warm ambiance, earthy feel and it has a vibe! We started with cappuccino, then... Our appetizers were Korean Spicy Fried wings, and Yukon fries. Our entree was a Smoked chicken white pizza! Drinks, pink lemonade. The appetizers were satisfying portions with spices to compliment both the chicken and fries but, the taste of the pizza was as close to authentic with airy fluffy brick oven crust, and aroma and taste of being made in a rustic Italian kitchen!

We brought our baseball team here after a tournament. They were amazing. We originally called ahead to make a party reservation but they said it wasn't a problem to accommodate a large party. We brought 35-40 people and there was tons of space. They did set us up in the backroom. The service was great. The food was good and came out quickly. We ordered cheese, pepperoni, sweet and spicy, pineapple, vegetable and brisket. There was plenty with some leftovers. Each pizza has 6 slices. Not only was the service and food good, but they had some great games for the kids (and adults) to enjoy. The kids enjoyed pool, basketball, air hockey and skeeball. This was great for the kids, it kept them occupied while we waited for food and afterwards. There is a nice beer and drink selection, too. I tried the Pine'hop'le. Definitely recommend this place for large groups while in or near Gettysburg.
